busy week so far

It's been another busy week at the Salon. And on Thursday, my brother Bruce and his wife Lori, drove over from the Grand Rapids area. (about an hour west of Lansing) Lori had e-mailed me for a little hair care advice. When I found out how much she was spending on getting her hair cut and colored, I told her I could get her the stuff to do herself and save a bundle! So she came to the Salon, and we looked over the color swatches and decided to color it then ,so she could get a better idea of what shade she might like. And while I was at it, I also gave her a trim. She seemed really pleased with the results, and I sent them home with some supplies to get her through the holidays. It was fun to see them. I was hoping to do lunch with them also, but ran out of time.On Friday evening after work we were invited to a holiday party at the Harem , a fairly new nightclub in downtown Lansing. Since we don't go out much, we thought it would be fun. (or at least I did. Getting Craig to go out is like pulling teeth!)They advertise themselves as an 'urban lounge'. It was very nice with the exposed brick and lots of wood and iron. Here's a few pics I got from their website. Was going to take my camera, but thought that would be tacky.

It was a great party! Free drinks and delicious appetizers! And even though Craig felt totally out of his element, I think he enjoyed it too.Well, then I wake up this morning and remember it's only Saturday, and I've got to go to work. Ugh! Oh well, just one more day, and then my 3 day weekend. Yaa!
